Advantages of composite fillings

Many people are familiar with dental fillings. Fillings repair cavities and minor tooth damage to restore your smile’s function and beauty. However, fillings aren’t created equal. When you want to restore your smile with fillings, you have a choice, and we always recommend white composite fillings for the reasons below. 

• Aesthetically appealing results: Composite resin can be shaded to resemble your natural teeth for undetectable results. Once we restore your tooth with composite filling, it becomes virtually indistinguishable from other teeth
• Safety: Many dentists today don’t place amalgam fillings because they contain mercury that can leak into your body. Composite fillings are free of any toxic materials for a safe outcome. Composite fillings give you peace of mind, knowing that your restoration won’t cause health problems when placed in your mouth.
• Thermal resistance: Metal fillings expand and contract when subjected to temperature changes. Over time, these changes in size cause your teeth to crack and weaken. Composite fillings are created from thermal-resistant materials and remain intact despite temperature changes
• Forms a strong bond: Composite fillings chemically bond with the tooth to create a tight seal against bacterial attacks. Additionally, this solid bond strengthens your tooth to withstand everyday tooth use
• Conservative: The cavity filling procedure is minimally invasive, only requiring the removal of a small portion of the tooth. Leaving much of your tooth structure intact ensures your tooth remains healthy and strong for many years

Composite fillings in Encinitas, California, are a safe, durable, and aesthetically pleasing solution for smile restoration.
